2.A.18.6.3
System N1, SNAT3 [glutamine/histidine/asparagine/alanine]:[Na+ + H+] sym/antiporter (1 aa + 2 Na+ cotransported against 1 H+ antiported out) (probable orthologue of mNAT). Li+ can substitute for Na+; system N1 can function bidirectionally. SNAT3 is a primarily a glutamine transporter required for amino acid homeostasis. Loss cannot be compensated, suggesting that this transporter is a major route of glutamine transport in the liver, brain, and kidney (Chan et al. 2015). Biallelic variants of SLC38A3 cause epileptic encephalopathy (Marafi et al. 2021).
